After the matter of Ning Zejiang of the Ministry of Rites passed, the court began to prepare for the spring festival in full swing.

Regarding the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is in the limelight at the moment, and no one dares to mention it in front of Emperor Zhaoren.

The spring festival is particularly grand, held in the Taimiao, Wenchen military generals, and all officials in Beijing will be present.

Because the Spring Festival was originally sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, with the assistance of Taichang Temple, Ning Zejiang was caught off guard before the Spring Festival.

Originally, Ning Zejiang relied more on Zhang Qingshan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was also a protégé of the Yan family, and was the new Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites that Taishi Yan wanted to support. Even if Ning Zejiang is gone, he can also take over all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. But something happened a few days before the spring festival.

Inside the Rui King's Mansion.

When Prince Rui heard Zhang Qingshan riding back home, the horse was frightened, and after breaking his leg, he laughed happily.

If Zhang Qingshan presides over this spring festival, after the spring festival, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites will undoubtedly be Zhang Qingshan's, which is no different from being in the hands of Ning Zejiang.

There is really no one to take over in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Shoudao, who is Taichang Siqing, has a chance, Taichang Siqing is a positive three products, and the things under his jurisdiction are limited, so naturally he cannot be compared with the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, after Ning Zejiang, Prince Rui wants to send Wang Shoudao into the Ministry of Rites.

As long as he can make this spring festival beautiful, it is easy to recommend him in front of Emperor Zhaoren.

Now that Zhang Qingshan is injured again, he can't attend the Spring Festival ceremony, isn't this an opportunity given by God?

At this time, Yang Qing happened to be a guest in his mansion and saw Prince Rui so happy. Quietly put down the teacup. Said with a smile:

"It's good if the prince likes it."

Prince Rui put away his laughter, looked sideways at Yang Qing, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that this matter is related to Yang Gongzi?" ”

"Or else?" Yang Qing raised his eyes to look at Prince Rui and said, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world. ”

As soon as Yang Qing said this, Prince Rui understood!

It turned out that Zhang Qingshan's surprise was man-made!

I didn't think of it!

"In this way, Wang Siqing will have a chance." Yang Qing said lightly.

Prince Rui looked at Yang Qing, sighed with emotion, and said in a respectful tone: "Young Master Yang is so talented, the matter of doing business is really a bit condescending. It's not as good as this. This king and Yang Gongzi donated an official body, Yang Gongzi should know that this is not a difficult thing for this king. ”

Yang Qing listened with a smile. I remembered what Bai Lian had said to him: "If it's a matter of the Ministry of Rites this time." Prince Rui offered to donate to you. Don't do it. ”

When he looked at Prince Rui, he shook his head and refused: "I fell in love with the prince, not for these false names. The prince doesn't have to mind. ”

The more Yang Qing was like this, the more Prince Rui valued him, and when Yang Qing said goodbye, he personally sent him out of the palace-

The orchids of King Zheng's mansion are particularly famous, all kinds of varieties, all kinds of flower types, at the end of March, he cultivated a few Junzi orchids to the flowering period, and invited He Tingyun to come to the mansion to appreciate.

He Tingyun is also a member of the family, and the first 20 years were also very prosperous in Beijing, his grandfather was the prince and the prince, and the relationship with the former prince was very close.

Later, after the death of the first prince, the He family lost some power, and after He Tingyun's grandfather became a scholar, He Tingyun's father has always been released, serving as an official of Liupin, and has not been promoted.

The He family is a family member, and He Tingyun's father was suppressed because of his grandparents, and the family declined. It's just that there are still three catties of nails in the broken boat, and when it comes to He Tingyun's generation, the descendants of the younger generations are talented, because the He family is not a close minister of Emperor Ren, and they have never been able to get close to the center of power.

Only He Tingyun's official position is not bad, as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the official of the second grade.

Because the Yan family controls the Ministry of Rites, Ning Zejiang relies on Zhang Qingshan, the left waiter, and has always turned a blind eye to He Tingyun, the right waiter.

He Tingyun also knew his own disadvantages, so he didn't cause any turmoil in the Yamen, he always kept a low profile, and he didn't steal the limelight in his work, so he stayed in the Ministry of Rites for so many years.

King Zheng has behaved in line with He Tingyun over the years, they are all low-key, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who has no real power, and an empty prince who is not favored, but no one pays attention to it, the two are originally gentlemen's friends, and no one will say anything at this time.

He Tingyun was in King Zheng's Mansion for half a day, only talking about Huayue as usual, and didn't ask about political affairs, but in fact, it was useless to ask!

After that, Zhou Hongwen looked at the spring flowers everywhere in the courtyard, sighed and said: "Now that the officialdom is declining, well-dressed beasts who enter and leave the court abound, and Ning Zejiang, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has an excellent official reputation, who would have thought that he is such a ruthless person, and his wife and children can be poisoned!" ”

Hearing Zhou Hongwen talk about it, He Tingyun also sighed, and said in a heavy tone: "Who said it wasn't, when I heard the news some time ago, I couldn't believe it. ”

Zhou Hongwen didn't feel sorry for these, but sneered and said: "He Ning Zejiang was originally a white-body scholar, a jinshi of Shenping for thirty years, and he was the same year, which one has him so smooth, but he is so smooth, holding the Yan family, and marrying the daughter of the original Ministry of Rites, his original wife has naturally become a stumbling block for him, how he is mixed with officialdom, this king does not deny, but his act of killing his wife is really despicable!" ”

He Tingyun is different from Ning Zejiang's start, and he is very disdainful of Ning Zejiang, who relies on nepotism.

Then Zhou Hongwen said: "It's all this king's involvement, otherwise, according to your talent, don't say it's Zhang Qingshan, even Ning Zejiang shouldn't be above you." ”

When Zhou Hongwen said these words, with a wry smile on his face, He Tingyun arched his hand and said: "The prince is serious, and the blame is only bad luck." ”

Yes, bad luck, if it weren't for the assassination of the first prince, Zhou Hongwen is now the prince, and the He family's current power in the court is like the Yan family, these have nothing to do with talent, it's just the word luck!

Needless to say, both of them understood it in their hearts.

The atmosphere was a little low, and when He Tingyun was about to divert the topic, he heard Zhou Hongwen say again: "If there is a chance to fight, Brother He is willing to fight?" ”

He Tingyun was stunned by Zhou Hongwen's question, and then understood his words.

Now that the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites is empty, the most direct candidates for the position are him and Zhang Qingshan, if they can fight, who is willing to be willing to be mediocre. The He family is also a big family, if it keeps silent, there will really be no place for the descendants of the He family in the future court.

It's just that now Zhang Qingshan has more advantages than him, why should he fight.

At this moment, the palace housekeeper came in with a man, He Tingyun saw that it was the housekeeper of his own house, and saw that after he saluted Zhou Hongwen, he said to He Tingyun:

"Master, just now there was news from the yamen to the mansion, saying that Lord Zhang, the left waiter, unfortunately fell off his horse and broke his leg, and the Ministry of Rites sent someone to ask the master to go back."
